Smithsonian Folkways Recordings

When the Smithsonian Institution took over the historic Folkways Records collection over 25 years ago, it vowed to keep all the titles in print. It has done just that. And you can find all those custom CD titles on our site. The Smithsonian Institution also decided to begin issuing new recordings under a new imprint known as Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. This collection represents all those recordings which continue to grow the original Folkways label.
